No not exactly. Manga was pretty much first XD astro boy was the first shonen anime I guess. I really don't know if that was the first anime and manga or was it Akira.... Anyway not sure but France was the first to make anime I think... *screams* I need to research more.

No. I meant that there is anime out there that is made before it becomes manga.

mostly people like to base anime on high-selling mangas, so they wont take a risk. A Manga's budget is alot more lower, so if the manga sells good then you make an anime out of it. but if its a no go, you can stop printing them and toss them out without losing that much money.
